The angles that form similarity are those that are vertically opposite and 2 pairs that are equal because the for a Z formation.

Since <LPM = <ONM then

$\dfrac{LP}{NO}=\dfrac{LM}{MO}\\ \\\dfrac{5x - 10}{4x-9}=\dfrac{16}{12}$ Cross multiply

12*(5x - 10) = 16*(4x - 9) Remove the brackets on both sides.

60x - 120 = 64x - 144 Subtract 60x from both sides.

- 120 = 64x - 60x - 144

-120 = 4x - 144 Add 144 to both sides.

-120 + 144 = 4x

24 = 4x Divide by 4

24/4 = x

x = 6

Which expression is equivalent to startfraction m minus 4 over m 4 endfraction divided by (m 2) ?

sertanlavr [38]

Rational functions are written as fractions. The expression equivalent to $\frac{\dfrac{m-4}{m+4} }{m+2}$ is $\frac{m-4}{m^2+6m+8}$

<h3>Rational functions</h3>

Given the rational function expressed as:

$\frac{\dfrac{m-4}{m+4} }{m+2}$

This can be further expressed as:

$\frac{m-4}{(m+4(m+2)}$

Factorize the denominator to have;

$\frac{m-4}{m^2+4m+2m+8}\\ \frac{m-4}{m^2+6m+8}$

Hence the expression equivalent to $\frac{\dfrac{m-4}{m+4} }{m+2}$ is $\frac{m-4}{m^2+6m+8}$

Which set of ordered pairs represents a function? {(2, –2), (1, 5), (–2, 2), (1, –3), (8, –1)} {(3, –1), (7, 1), (–6, –1), (9, 1

LiRa [457]

Answer:

{(3, –1), (7, 1), (–6, –1), (9, 1), (2, –1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

{(3, –1), (7, 1), (–6, –1), (9, 1), (2, –1)}

this set represent a function because there is one input (x) for the output(y)

(no repetition for x)
